Jersey and Gloves
The painting of the jersey and gloves is underway. I’ve carved all of the lettering and numbers that you see so that they stand out a bit from the rest of the jersey. You might also be able to see from this photo that I made some straps for the helmet out of roof flashing ( thin gauge sheet metal ) and painted them black.
Everything is in primary colours at the moment but I’ll be adding highlights and a variety of smudges to give the whole carving greater character.
I thought that a name like “Bruzer” would get the point across…

Thanks. I should be finished up with the painting very shortly. The weather has been just too nice for any serious time spent on the carving…but I don’t mind being slowed down for nice weather. Hope you are both enjoying your summers as well. Mark.
